Quite a shock to the system when we arrived. The whole place was shabby and felt unclean. The sink leaked in the bathroom, although Hutiner tried his best to fix it, it still leaked..The 'hot' tub was cold and I wouldn't have used it had it been hot, as it also was old and unwelcoming. The photos on the website make the place look so much better than it is. The whole place was dirty, tired and old. My recommedation would be to stay somewhere else.

As this accommodation was inexpensive we were pleasantly surprised by our nice room and the breakfast being included. We would recommend dinner at The Crow tavern.

The room was not very clean - it badly needed a vacuum and a through clean of the bathroom which amongst other things had a long hair just left on the sink. And my bed's mattress was lumpy and well past the point where it needed to be replaced. The sheets were clean, though, even if not much else was. The location was convenient to taking the ferry back north, and too shopping and food.
